Abstract

A control system of a dishwasher in combination with an electrolyzed water production apparatus installed independently from the dishwasher, wherein electrolyzed alkaline water stored in a washing tank from the electrolyzed water production apparatus is used as washing water at a washing process and fresh water stored in a rinse tank from a source of water is used as rinse water at a rinse process, after the washing process; comprising the steps of activating the dishwasher to start operation at the rinse process so that the rinse water from the rinse tank is supplied into and stored in the washing tank; introducing the electrolyzed strong alkaline water into the washing tank in response to start of operation at the rinse process so that the alkaline water is diluted with the rinse water in the washing tank; and stopping the introduction of the electrolyzed alkaline water into the washing tank after lapse of a predetermined time.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A control system of a dishwasher in combination with an electrolyzed water production apparatus installed independently from the dishwasher, wherein electrolyzed alkaline water stored in a washing tank from the electrolyzed water production apparatus is used as washing water at a washing process and fresh water stored in a rinse tank from a source of water is used as rinse water at a rinse process, after the washing process; comprising the steps of
 activating the dishwasher to start operation at the rinse process so that the rinse water from the rinse tank is supplied into and stored in the washing tank;   introducing the electrolyzed strong alkaline water into the washing tank in response to start of operation at the rinse process so that the alkaline water is diluted with the rinse water in the washing tank; and   stopping the introduction of the electrolyzed alkaline water into the washing tank after lapse of a predetermined time.   
     
     
         2 . A control system of a dishwasher as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the supply of fresh water into the rinse tank is stopped during introduction of the electrolyzed alkaline water into the washing tank. 
     
     
         3 . A control system of a dishwasher as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein supply of the rinse water into the rinse tank is permitted during operation of the dishwasher at the washing process. 
     
     
         4 . A control system of a dishwasher in combination with an electrolyzed water production apparatus installed independently from the dishwasher, wherein electrolyzed alkaline water stored in a washing tank from the electrolyzed water production apparatus is used as washing water at a washing process and hot water stored in a rinse tank from a booster tank is used as rinse water at a rinse process, after the washing process; comprising the steps of:
 activating the dishwasher to start operation at the rinse process so that the rinse water from the rinse tank is supplied into and stored in the washing tank;   introducing the electrolyzed strong alkaline water into the washing tank in response to start of operation at the rinse process so that the alkaline water is diluted with the rinse water in the washing tank; and   stopping the introduction of the electrolyzed alkaline water into the washing tank after lapse of a predetermined time.   
     
     
         5 . A control system of a dishwasher as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein fresh water supplied into the booster tank is heated in a condition where the booster tank was fully filled with the fresh water.
